This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Brentford vs Burnley
Brentford get back to winning ways as they cruise to a 3-0 victory over 10-man Burnley. Maupay thought he'd given the Bees the lead inside 10 minutes, only for it to be chalked out for an offside in the build-up. Wissa did get them in front though, tapping in from close range. Trafford kept his side in the game, but a wonderful curling strike from Mbeumo eventually beat him just after the hour mark. Roberts was sent off for two yellow cards, leaving Burnley to finish the game with 10 men, and Ghoddos came on to rifle an excellent swerving shot in off the post to round things off. That win lifts Brentford up to 14th in the table and they travel to Chelsea next time out. Burnley stay in the relegation zone and travel to fellow strugglers Bournemouth next weekend. That's all for today, goodbye!

Delcroix's attempted pass is straight at Norgaard, and the rebound off him falls at Mbeumo's feet. He takes it to the byline before looping a cross in, but nobody in the box can get near it.

Brentford are still looking to add to their tally here as it's lifted over the top towards Ghoddos. He's off balance and goes skidding across the slick surface as Brownhill clears his lines.

Janelt's cross is only half-cleared by Delcroix and it falls to Ghoddos on the edge of the box once more. He can't recreate his goal though as he slices this shot high into the stands.

CHANCE! There's another nervy moment at the back for Burnley as Trafford's pass is picked off by Norgaard. He unselfishly tries to square it to Wissa, but that gives Trafford a chance to atone as he quickly gets down to cut it out.
